White balance difference in single real estate shoot??

3 years 2 months ago #706797 by Phyllis Miller
I just took on a gig for a realtor here and looked at the house.  I think there must be a thousand different light bulbs in this place.  All seem to cast a different white balance that bleeds into different rooms.  What do you do in order to make things easier when it comes to post processing?

Had you used a grey card, it would be simpler.

I suggest you use a WB adjustment layer mask strategically placed,
with cleverly chosen hardness, and tastefully tweaked for every "too
far from target" zones.

Light is free… capturing it is not!

I'll jump into this conversation.   You mean to tell me, for each room with different shade lights, you need to fuss with a grey card?

That seems like a PITA

Well… yes!

Since most people won't pay too much attention to lighting, YOU — as
a photographer — will have to.

I suggest that you stick with AWB and let the camera sort out the differences. If you need to tweak it in PP, then live with it. Different color schemes from one room to another will always screw up what you're trying to do, not to mention natural light changing as clouds drift by.
